Abstract
Abstract The disclosed permanent magnet has a coercive force of larger than 500 Oe, a residual magnetic flux density of larger than 5 kG, and a maximum energy product of larger than 2 MGOe, and it consisting essentially of 48 DIFFERENCE 66.9 Atm % of iron, 33 DIFFERENCE 47 Atm % of platinum, and 0.1 DIFFERENCE 10 Atm % of niobium. It includes a crystal structure of an incomplete single gamma 1 phase of a face-centered tetragonal system due to either the composition thereof or heat treatment applied thereto. The permanent magnet is made by heating an alloy of the above main composition at 900 DEG DIFFERENCE 400 DEG for one minute to ten hours and quenching the alloy at a high speed of faster than 30 DEG C./minute but slower than 2,000 DEG C./sec.
